THE CANDLE, by GHALIB IBN RIBAH AL-HAJJAM
First Line: The burning candle glows
Last Line: Quivering it gleams.
First Line: The burning candle glows
Last Line: Quivering it gleams.
The burning candle glows
Bright as yon Pleiades,
Fresh-kindled by the breeze
As it softly blows.
A serpent's tongue it seems
That flickers in the glow
Of the hot noontide; so
Quivering it gleams.
